19, VA. r. -7 ^ 7-210 SAMPLE 12 Pages Douglas Denied Bond Called back into special session last Thursday, a Rappahannock grand jury returned a true bill against Ernest Lee Douglas for the malicious wounding of Peter Marx in an incident that occurred November 18, 1979, near Washington. Prosecution of the case was delayed for almost a year and a half due to questions concerning Douglas’ capability to stand trial and his subsequent psychiatric examinations. The charges against Douglas were nol prossed last March when Marx refused to appear in court to testify against his alleged assailant. Commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner reactivated the malicious wounding charges after Douglas, a resident of the Richmond area, returned to Rappahannock two weeks ago. Douglas also is facing trespass charges for allegedly moving into Marx’s home upon his return to the county. (Marx is living in Northern Virginia and has a weekend cottage near Washington.) In circuit court Friday morning. Judge Shore Robertson ordered Douglas held without bond until his trial, set for September 23 and 24. £ CHIEF 'A WJSHgSi Kapftahannnrk !\eww pU*n/S.

Program For Handicapped Persons Expands To Rappahannock County By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON ' ; WSU#*l*rr ** Chris Vuxton and Davie Lambelet are looking foi handicapped persons willing to work and employers willing to hire them in the Projects With Industry program recently extended into Rappahannock County. The program is not federally subsidized. Neither clients nor employers are charged fees and there’s very little, if any, paper work included, according to Vuxton, coordinator for Projects With Industry. . "We try to get handicapped persons and employers together.” he explained. ‘‘We’ll help with onsite training anywhere from a few days to full-time for a week of more if necessary and follow-up to make sure everything works out, checking once a week with the employer for at least the first two months." Vuxton’s clients include all types of handicapped individuals—mentally retarded, emotionally disturbed, physically impaired. “For example, we could help a truck driver who can no longer drive because of a back problem find a sedentary job,” he said. “Or if an employer has a task that must be repeated over and over again, that's monotonous and doesn’t require a great deal of skill, we could place a retarded person in that position...We match the person with the job and then make it work.” “We look at a person’s strengths and abilities and then locate an employer who requires those strengths,” added Lambelet, Projects With Industry’s job site trainer. Certiflably Handicapped To qualify for job placement assistance, a handicapped person must either (1) receive services from the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation or mental health and mental retardation, (2) receive Workmen’s Compensation, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or (3) have been enrolled in special education classes in high school. In addition, Vuxton emphasized, PWI’s programs are for people who are motivated to work AND who can realistically work, "We’ll evaluate them to determine if they’re capable of working and if they can’t, we ll tell them so,” he said. “We wouldn’t place anyone unless we’re sure they can do the job. We're not going to make any headway burning employers.” According to Vuxton, his primary concern is with the employers in PWL's programs as opposed to individual handicapped clients. "If someone is not working out we’ll pull that person off the job,” he emphasized. If possible, another position will be found for the individual. If not, he or she must drop out of the program. "Our relationship with the employer is paramount. If we give bad referrals, the employer won’t want to accept other placements and the entire programs would be jeopardized.” Vuxton and Lambelet work out of offices at FORE in Remington, a sheltered workshop and training center for the handicapped that serves the RappahannockRapidan planning district area. But Vuxton noted that PWI’s program here will take in handicapped citizens from Rappahannock only, with job placement restricted to incounty employers. Training Funds Available Vuxton is looking for jobs with farmers, orchardists, plumbers, electricians and carpenters, and positions as sales clerks, gas station attendants and custodians, just to cite a few examples. In certain circumstances, the PWL coordinator can arrange for job training funds from the state which will pay up to half the handicapped persons’ wages for a specified period of time. For instance, the state will pay for half the first 1,500 hours for a wood shop trainee. Vuxton reported. PWI currently has two clients in Rappahannock (Continued on Page 6) Democrat Baliles Charges Opponent With Inconsistencies By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kap|»hann<x-k %«■»« Suff W rilxr On his visit last week to the Rappahannock court house, Jerry Baliles, Democratic candidate for attorney general, took an opportunity to strike out at his republican opponent, charging Wyatt Durrette with inconsistencies in his positions on the major issues of their campaign. “His public life is marked by convenient flip-flops," said Baliles in an interview last Wednesday with the Rapphannock News. According to Baliles, Durrette has straddled the fence on the Equal Rights Amendment, saying he was for passage of ERA every time he ran as a Northern Virginia delegate to the General Assembly. “I don’t know where he stands now.” (In his appearance at the court house on July 23, Durrette said he opposed passage of ERA.) As the Fairfax delegate, Durrette "supported four bills for collective bargaining" but now maintains he is opposed. Baliles said. He reported that his opponent has vacillated on capital punishment, on compensation for victims of crime and on pay increases for law enforcement personnel, voting against bills on all three of these issues. As a delegate, Durrette introduced legislation that would have enacted “sweeping, liberal reforms” of abortion law, according to Baliles. ’Yest just recently, the Democratic candidate noted, Durrette was quoted by a Lynchburg paper as being opposed to abortion even in instances where the mother’s life is in danger. As for his position on abortion, Baliles said he supports abortion in instances of rape, incest and gross malformation of fetuses. “I’m not in favor of easing the present laws,” the Democratic candidate added. Baliles said he is in favor of passage of ERA. “I’ve always been for equal rights for all citizens.” On the issue of gun control, Baliles said the proposals he’s seen "won’t work.” New York has had gun control laws on the books for 40 years without reducing crime while D.C.’s gun control law, one of the strongest in the nation, hasn’t dented crime rates there either, he said. ‘‘1 am in fa^or of mandatory sentences for using guns in the commission of crime,” Baliles added. “A “get tough” attitude toward crime is the keynote of Jerry Baliles' campaign for attorney general. “The crime increase in Virginia is unacceptable," he emphasized. But Baliles wouldn’t attack the problem with uniform sentencing as proposed by Republican gubernatorial candidate Marshall Coleman and supported by Durrette. He described Coleman’s proposal as ‘‘a political promise that won’t work,” Rather than having specific sentences for specific crimes committed by anyone anywhere in the state, Baliles said he favors “punishment to fit the crime ... the worse the crime, the worse the punishment." He said, however, that he believes in minimum mandatory sentences for assault on police officers, drug trafficking, certain crimes' of violence, such as rape and murder, and for the "career criminal, the repeat offender...! think it's a shame ; that good people have to lock themselves behind dpors while the career criminal walks the street." Baliles also is pushing an effort to build local advisory anticrime teams and is currently meeting with law enforcement officials across the state. According to Baliles’ campaign literature, his program (called ACTVIRG1N1A with A-C-T standing for anti-crime teams) has a three-fold mission: (1) to determine the scope and nature of crimes in each county or city in Virginia, (2) to analyze the various causes of the increasing crime problem, and (Continued on Page 6) ixapfMinaniHH’k >r%vi rhoto i Japhne Hulchinatn THE ONE WITH THE BALILES STICKER is none other than the candidate for state attorney general himself.

Buntin, Minoru Oda and Lee Bird. r At Informal Meeting Parents Bring Concerns On RCHS To Superintendent By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kappahannork Vw» Staff ^ ritrr At an informal meeting with parents and teachers Monday night, July 27, Rappahannock school superintendent Robert Estabrook stressed the importance of setting high standards and maintaining a positive attitude in dealing with the county’s public school system. Over punch and cookies in the high school home economics classroom, Estabrook gave a brief, offthe-cuff explanation of his educational philosophy before listening to concerns expressed by approximately 20 persons who came to meet the new superintendent. “I intend to work toward high standards—not just maintenance type concerns but in every aspect of this enterprise,” Estabrook said. “High standards conditioned by reason...tempered, realistic high standards, not something we flog people with, be they staff or students," he explained. By setting high standards, “we create an opportunity for bringing out the best," he said. Recalling his coaching days, Estabrook said he always expected the best from his players but noted that he tempered high standards with understanding and compassion. ‘‘There was no tongue lashing if they lost as long as they tried to do their best," he said of his high school basketball team. Inspiring Story To illustrate his attitude toward young people, Estabrook related a story of two exceptional youngsters he worked with earlier in his career, twins who were in his English class and played on his basketball team the first year he coached. “Toward the end of the season, I noticed that one was having real difficulties with his reflexes. During drills, the hall would bounce off his chest or shoulders ...We found out two months later that he had leukemia." This young man was just five foot, nine inches tall and weighed 140 pounds, not a giant sized athiete at all. Estabrook noted. In his senior year, the tw in went two or three times a week to a hospital 50 miles away for cobalt treatments, often so nauseated that he would be sick on the way home before (Continued on Page 12) Rappahannock Youngsters Shine In Area Farm Show Competition Rappahannock County youngsters distinguished themselves at last week's Culpeper Madison Rappahannock farm show in Culpeper, winning many of the top places and also faring well in the 4-H livestock sale that ended the show Monday night.

STOKES CHAIRMAN Foot Facts by Dr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot specialist FOOT FACTS “I HAVE FALLEN ARCHES” It it commonly believed that It is possible to have your arches tall In the midst of adult life. This, however, happens only In a few rare occasions. Actually, people develop symptoms from their misaligned feet and begin to notice them as adults. The importance of flat feet is not their appearance, but how they function. There are two major joints in the foot that dictate the appearance of the arch and If they are not functioning weil we believe today that this is the basis for many other foot problems. Just as our tires and ball joints wear out If our car Is out of alignment, our feet develop bunions, corns, callouses and other problems when they are out of alignment with the ground. Bruce I.

Of the 831 items carried on the Department’s price list, 610 will increase in price by amounts less than 25 cents, while 155 items will go up 25 cents or more. The prices of a number of other items will remain unchanged or be lower, principally close-out merchandise. Although there have been increases in prices' periodically as a result of passing on manufacturers' higher charges, this will be ,thc.-first -general price in- < crease made by the Department since 1979. The increase is due primarily to the rise in operating costs. The change raises the markup on distilled spirits one percent—from 3b'A percent to 37Vj percent—and from 40 percent to 43 percent on wine.

Catron said that he was “more and more encouraged” by area support to consider running for the Virginia House of Delegates in the newly redrawn 15th District. Catron was in Rappahannock County last week testing the waters for an election bid. But public support will not be the only factor in Catron’s decision. The current redistricting plan for the Virginia House of Delegates, sent to the U. S. Justice Department for approval, has not been approved. Its approval would change the local political picture significantly. Included in the 15th District would be Rappahannock, Clarke, Warren and Page Counties.

The Good Neighbor Of Jenkins Hollow By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Good Samaritans are wonderful people but they’re usually too busy doing good deeds to have many hours left for anything else. Tom Pillar is an exception. Since coming to the county in 1948, he’s shared his talents, skills and time with the Rappahannock Library, his church and his neighbors in Jenkins Hollow (nicknamed Still Hollow by one of its residents for two reasons, one because it’s so quiet and the other...). He also learned to be stone mason, carpenter and landscaper as with no construction experience to speak of, he built most of the home that’s nestled back against Jenkins Mountain. He took up a second career as a real estate broker and along the way, amassed a collection of Indian arrowheads that rivals the displays in many museums. A native of Edinburgh, Scotland, Tom moved to Rappahannock from Norfolk with his wife Ruth following his retirement from 30 years in banking. They were visiting friends in the D.C. area for summer vacation when they traveled through the county on one of those leisurely Sunday drives . folks used to take before gas became as dear as T-bone steaks. "We fell in love with the country and decided to look up a real estate agent,” Tom recalled. They bought a piece of property in the hollow and had a two-room shell erected. Tom built the rest of their lovely home, a long, low onestory house of pale woodsy colors that blends naturally into the forest background. He modestly turned aside compliments on his construction skills. “I just did it—that’s all. You can do what you want to do if you just set your mind to it,” he maintained. In addition to their home. Tom has also built the graceful stone walls that surround the property, a stone pond in the front yard and the stone garage next to the house, all from native rock. It was this native rock, a giant boulder smack in the middle of the area the Pillars had selected as their garden spot, that started Tom on his quest for Indian relics. The big stone wouldn’t yield to picks and shovels so dynamite was brought in. The stone went up and a rain of arrowheads came down, according to Ruth. There must have been a cache of arrowheads underneath,” she said. As the garden spot was worked and plowed and the ground turned over, every down pour uncovered more of the Indian relics. The family horse helped too, according to Ruth. The clipclop of hoofs knocked away' dirt and bared arrowheads on the well-beaten trails through the Pillar’s pasture. “This was an ideal campsite,” Tom said in explanation of the hundreds of arrowheads he has found on his land. “There’s a river running around it for protection, the mountains for protection, plenty of fish and game.” A representative from the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. was supposed to come out to view Pillar’s collection but failed to materialize, according to Tom. He added, however, that he'd received a pamphlet showing the Smithsonian’s arrowhead display. “There was nothing in there that I didn’t have,” he noted. In addition to the standard slate colored variety Pillar has shining crystal arrowheads that look more like jewelry than weapons. He reported finding a cache of five where a new water line was put in on the property. Framed and hanging in the TV room, the best of Tom’s collection of arrowheads are Rappahanmidt New* phnfct/S. Lathani AN EXTENSIVE ARROWHEAD COLLECTION has been assembled by T. J. Pillar of Sperryville who found all of the relics on acreage where he constructed his home. Lord Fairfax Has Extended Learning Program Lord Fairfax Community College is beginning a program in the fall that will allow selected students the opportunity to use valuable past experiences toward college credits leading to a degree. An Extended Learning Center will review a wide variety of adult experience for potential credit. Some of these are education received in the military, achievements through volunteer public service, and the knowledge gained by operating one’s own business. Other ‘‘life experiences” that can be documented and analyzed will be considered for academic credit. r Approaches that may be used also are various types of examination programs for credit, self-paced and selfdirected courses, independent study, media-centered courses and correspondence courses. The primary goal of a college Extended Learning Center is to plan individual programs for adult learners who have been away from school for a year or more. Ways have been devised to remove some of the time and space restrictions preventing many working adults from returning to college. Many adults are earning college degrees from reputable institutions on this basis.

He developed his mason's apprenticeship after a long career in banking. dwarfed by the ax, warhead and tomahawk he dug out of the Jenkins Hollow dirt. They have none of the delicacy of the crystal relics. Ponderous, heavy and obviously capable of dealing a lethal blow, the tomahawk and warhead would it£ver be mistaken for jewelry. The Pillars’ arrowheads were examined by an expert from the archeological society in Richmond. According to the archeologist, the black stone arrowheads Tom found are not native to this area but were carried here by Indians traveling down the Appalachian Trail. The expert estimated that many of the pieces in Tom’s collection are between 8,000 and 10,000 years old. But it’s Tom Pillar’s neighborliness and com munity spirit, not his arrowhead collection, that have made him famous in Jenkins Hollow. Since the Pillars came here in 1948, the county has been discovered by folks who’ve built weekend homes in Rappahannock. Tom has watched over their cottages and belongings, an unofficial caretaker whose efforts have kept breaking and enterings at a minimum in Jenkins Hollow, according to Grace Sims. He assumed the role of a rural sidewalk superintendent— minus the sidewalk — when the weekenders began to build permanent residences. “Tom watched over our contractors. He telephoned us if our wells weren’t getting water. He’s been THE good neighbor out here. I don't know how many people he looks out for but it’s at least ten families,” Grace added. E. N. Montague, another neighbor, recalled that when Tom sold a house to a newcomer to the county, his assistance in getting settled and becoming familiar with Rappahannock was an unwritten part of every contract. “When anyone in the hollow goes away, you tell him and he’ll run by your place to check and see if everything’s okay. He's a good friend and a good neighbor.” Montague and Pillar are both members of Trinity Episcopal in Washington. Tom has generously donated his carpentry skills to the church. “He did all the various kinds of crosses for the Sunday school classroom doors and he refinished the wooden baptistry. He also did the kneeling benches for all the pdws,” Montague reported.' Tom was part of the group that made the county library a reality. Because of his background in banking, he was financial advisor for the effort that saw the old Presbyterian Church transformed into the center of learning. He helped with repairs to the leaking roof and rotted floors, carefully taking up the beautiful old pine boards, replacing the termite ridden joists and then putting the old pine floor back down, Tilling the empty spaces with boards from the upstairs balcony. He volunteered his assistance at assembling the old metal stacks that originally held the library’s books and then was part of the labor force that did the carpentry on the new wooden stacks. Cliff Sutherland, another Jenkins Hollow resident, reported that Tom keeps a close eye on the older folks who live further back toward the mountain to see if they need anything. Tom Pillar takes the “Good Neighbor Pdlicy” this country has tried to pursue in Latin America and around the world and practices it right in his own back yard. “He’d give you the shirt off his back,” Sutherland said. “He’s a good neighbor who’d do just anything for you.” <W> DOC DAVS IfdlKfiTP* PAINT SALE Dog Days are Here.

I REALTY WORLD ■ I ^Estate (&i/een dt. UEAUOL ON BUYING SUMMER PROPERTY What are the pro’s and con’s of investing in income-property at a summer resort? The big lure to investors here is the quick ten or twelve week cash return which equals the return on year-round property that you have to wait fiftytwo weeks to get. Meanwhile, you are relieved of tenant problems and complaints for nine or ten months of the year. Another advantage is the ample time you have to make repairs since the property is vacant most of the year. On the other side of the coin, close attention to the property is required each week during the season. This could be burdensome for some investors who prefer long distance. remote-control operations. The property has a higher non-liquidity rate; that is, it is not so readily marketable as year-round property. The selling season is restricted practically to April, May and June. Further, there is a higher risk factor involved due to dependence upon unpredictable weather conditions. Normally the mortgage span is shorter than for year round property. ooo If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, AUGUST 6,1981 Crime On The Rise Following the trend throughout the state, crime in the RappahannockRapidan Planning District is on the increase, according to statistics released by the state police in the 1980 edition of Crime in Virginia. For 1980, Rappahannock had the lowest crime rate in the district, 1.7 per 100 population. The county also had the lowest clearance rate for crimes solved, however, with 15.50 percent. A further breakdown shows a 1980 clearance rate for the sheriffs department of 11.70 percent and 55.50 percent for crimes investigated by state police assigned here. By comparison, Rappahannock had a clearance rate of 21 percent for 1979 with a crime rate of 1.5 per 100 population. Statistics for 1980 show the county had one murder or non negligent manslaughter, one robbery, three aggravated assaults, four motor vehicle thefts, 44 burglaries and SO larcenies. In the other jurisdictions in the planning district, crimes per 100 population went from 2,1 In 1979 to 2.5 in 1980 in Culpeper; from 1.7 to 1.9 in Fauquier; from 1.9 to 2.0 in Madison and from 2.3 to 2.8 in Orange. Fauquier led in clearance rates with 45.20 percent of crimes cleared in 1980 followed by Culpeper with 38.5 percent. Orange with 32.3 percent and Madison with 20.30 percent. For the planning district as a whole, larceny was the most common crime with 1,144 offenses reported. It also had the lowest clearance rate, 29.9 percent. Value of property stolen in larcenies, motor vehicle thefts, burglaries and robberies amounted to $958,047 in the five PD-9 counties. Murder^ and nonnegligent manslaughter cases in the five counties for 1980 totalled 13 with 107.7 percent cleared; forcible rapes 15 with 93.3 percent cleared; robberies 14 with 50 percent cleared; aggravated assaults 82 with 90.2 percent cleared; burglaries 679 with 35.8 percent cleared and motor vehicle thefts 53 with 43.4 percent cleared. Statewide, the crime rate per 100 population was 4.6 for 1980 compared to 4.3 for 1979. For all crimes, Virginia’s 1980 clearance rate Rappahannock New* Pholn/T. Reynold* FREQUENT RAINS this summer haven’t kept Alice Reeve of Washington inside. Farmers, gardeners and orchardists have been glad to see the rain as ground water levels remain at near-record lows from a year of drought. Tuesday's hail was not welcome, though. Verbal Agreement Reached On Right-Of-Way By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Staff I ritrr Mayor Newbill Miller said that a verbal agreement had been reached on the purchase of the right-of-way needed to connect the new town well to the town’s water system. "We’ve forwarded the papers,” he said. “Now all we need to do is wait for their return.” The mayor said the water supplied by the town’s system has held up so far due to the frequent rains this summer. Overall ground water is still near an all-time low throughout the state and Miller said that several little branches on his property had dried up for the first time since the terrible drought of the 30’s. He urged careful water use for the people on the towns system as well as for everyone in the county with a well. Did you know that: —brushing your teeth while the faucet runs uses 2 gallons of water? —shaving while the faucet runs uses 20 gallons of water? —75 percent of water used in your house is used in the bathroom? Most of that goes for flushing toilets? —washing dishes with the faucet running can use 20 gallons of water? Leaving the faucet off reduces it to 5? —clothes washers require 30 to 60 gallons for a full cycle? —a faucet dripping one drop per second will leak 2,000 gallons in one year? —a garden hose left running overnight will use two times as much water as your family uses in a month? —a large oak tree can pump 400 to 500 gallons of water out of the ground each day? —it takes 15 gallons of water to produce one gallon of beer? was 22.40 percent. As in the county and the planning district, larceny topped the list of most common crimes with 152,912 reported, followed by burglaries with 63,8%. For the state as a whole, the only category of crime to show a decrease in 1980 was motor vehicle theft which declined by 5.32 percent. Murders were up by 2.94 percent, forcible rape by 3.29 percent, robbery by 10.29 percent, aggravated assault by 0.73 percent, burglary by 13.89 percent and larceny by 8.21 percent. In Virginia in 1980, a forcible rape occurred once every six hours and four minutes, a murder once every 19 hours and 18 minutes, an aggravated assault once every hour and five minutes and robbery once every hour and 22 minutes. In total, crimes against persons occurred every 53 minutes last year. By comparison, crimes against property, including burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft, happened every 2 minutes and 14 seconds. Statistics show that in 1980, most of the murders in the state occurred during June, July and August. Of the victims, 73.6 percent were male and 26.4 percent female. By race, the breakdown was 46.4 percent white and 53.4 percent black. The majority of victims, 55.8 percent, were between 20 and 39 years of age. Examining murder offenders, 67.4 percent were male, 16 percent female and 16.6 percent unknown. By race, 38.8 percent were white, 44.6 percent black and 16.6 percent unknown. In 43.1 percent of murder cases, the victim was an acquaintance of the offender. Boyfriend-girlfriend relationships accounted for 5.5 percent, spouses for 14.3 percent, parent-child for 4.8 percent, other family for 6.4 percent, strangers for 9 percent and unknown for 16.9 percent. Handguns were the most common murder weapons in 1980, used in 49.2 percent of offenses. Shotguns were used in 13.9 percent of Virginia’s murders last year, rifles in 4.6 percent, knives in 15.8 percent, clubs in 2.6 percent and hands, fist or feet in 5.5 percent.

Pass Sperryville about 11 o’clock. Sun puts out and our march becomes exceedingly severe. Arrived at Washington (Rapphannnock county) about 3 o'clock, halted there, from the town full of pretty ladies: they employed themselves in watering the soldiers, cheering them, etc. I borrowed a horse and rode about 3 miles southwest of Washington to see Miss Phebe Harris and returned about 11 p.m. to camp on the road to Gaines’ crossroads. Here Genl. Early put Col. Gibson under arrest for permitting some of the Rappahannock men to go by home. It is now supposed that we are making a flank movement on old Hooker by way of Warrenton. ” June 12 “March at sunrise and take the road to Front Royal. The day is very hot and our march fatiguing in consequence of the difficulty of the trains moving on this road. Halt very frequently. The road to Chesters Gap is very hard marching and the mdst remarkable sights were presented by every man before he had reached Front Royal. The dust had completely changed his complexion and with his white hair, eyebrows and lashes, streaked face when the sweat ran down, a demon or ghost could not have looked worse. Passed through Front Royal and made no halt.” Robert Daniel Funkhouser of Warren County was twenty-six when he made the march that led the fortyninth Virginia regiment to the second battle of Winchester and the other bloody battles of the Gettysburg campaign. His cheerful diary and the diary of another LAURA VIRGINIA HALE Local Historian and Author CAPTAIN WILLIAM D. MOFFETT. 49th Va. Infantry Acting Colonel from 1864 to Appomattox soldier who died a few paces from Funkhouser furnished most of the information for a history of the forty-ninth written by Front Royal historian Laura Virginia Hale and Stanley Phillips of Lanham, Maryland. The forty-ninth was one of the most colorful regiments in the Army of Northern Virginia but much of its history was not known until the discovery of Funkhouser’s' diary, the circumstances of which are not discussed in this book. It was Funkhouser’s opinion, and that of other soldiers and statesmen of the time, that the incredible performance of the fortyninth was due in part to its colorful commander “Extra Billy” Smith. An exasparated President Lincoln called him, “that old game-cock” and it was true that Smith had no training in military procedure or discipline. He was sixtyfour when he put together his Rappahannock %«•%%» Photo S. Latham Our Rappahannock Heritage The Little Fox regiment. He had travelled from his home in Warrenton to see the Warrenton rifles retreat at Fairfax Court House after the death of their Captain, John Quincy Marr - the first Virginia casualty of the war. The sight was too much for the feisty old gentleman, who had served five years as Congressman and one term as Governor. “Extra Billy” took it upon himself to rally the Warrenton company into two more courageous assaults. Satisfied that he could indeed command soldiers in spite of his age and inexperience, Smith eventually gathered ten companies into a regiment. Three of these companies were from Rappahannock County: the Sperryville Sharpshooters, the Rappahannock Rifles, and the Flint Hill Rifles. It was well-known at the time that Smith’s regiment would go anywhere. A member of the Richmond Howitzers remarked: “I saw the Fortyninth follow the old man into a place where I did not think a mosquito could live.” Smith’s whole approach to war was unorthodox and, by his own account, he used his age to convince men of other regiments that he outranked their superiors. Miss Hale, who researched the history for four years, corresponded with The complete Rappahannock County companies rosters are listed in Hale’s book along with notations of when they died or what battles they were wounded in if that information is available. For those Rappahannock men like Moffett, the Poe Brothers, and Priest, whose families had some records, she provides pictures and anecdotes. In many ways, the author of this historical work is as remarkable as the men she writes about. Miss Hale is severely paralyzed and has been since the age of six. She lives in her large family home in Front Royal and must write painfully with both hands. Her interest in local history started when she was encouraged to enter essay contests as a child with polio. During the anniversary of the Civil War, Hale wrote a series of newspaper articles - one each week — on the events of the war a century before, The book containing these articles, Four Valiant Years, has become a collector’s item among history buffs. Those interested in learning more about her new book can see her at her home in Front Royal. Miss Hale feels that the brave men of the Forty-ninth "Extra Billy Smith’s Boys” as she calls them in her subtitle PRIVATE WINTERTON DIONYSUS POE, Company E Enlisted from Amissville Photo s by permission of author descendants of 49th veterans and with other Virginia historical groups to flesh out the information from Funkhouser’s diary. She has been able to provide details on some of the Rappahannock members of the regiment. Most notable was Captain William D. Moffett, who was the acting colonel of the 49th from the time “Extra Billy” left to take the governorship of Virginia. It was under Captain Moffett, who had been a Rappahannock County lawyer, that the regiment surrendered at Appomattox. Moffett was wounded at Sharpsburg and died in 1869 at the age of twenty-nine. Two Amissville brothers, Winterton Dionysus and John Lewis Poe, appear with tneir pictures in Hales Notes. - Winterton Poe was not old enough when the war began but he volunteered with his brother. Apparently, Poe was wounded at the first Battle of Manassas and crawled off into a group of trees for a day and a night before he was found. Hale says this wound may have been received at Gettysburg instead of Manassas. “Billy” Poe spent sixteen months as a prisoner of war and used the time to whittle a watch chain out of bone. Another Amissville veteran, George Harvey Priest, was shot severely at Seven Pines but survived the war and lived to be eightyfive, regaling his grandchildren with war stories like the time the soldiers had to cook and eat horse feed to survive. were as distinguished a regiment as any in Civil War History. When they faced their Union counterparts at Appomattox there were only Fifty-four men left to surrender. The Confederate Army was so decimated that brigades could march under the banners of regiments. Funkhouser was a prisoner of war at the time of Appomattox, so Hale uses Major Henry Kyd Douglas’s account of the surrender of the Forty-ninth: "When the time came to march out and give up our guns and flags in surrender, I asked General Gordon to let my brigade - as it had fired the last show — be the last to stack arms. This he readily granted. In a little while my time came. A heavy line of Union soldiers stood opposite us in absolute silence. As my decimated and ragged band with their bullet-tom banner marched to its place, someone in the blue line broke the silence and called for three cheers...it was taken up all about him by those who knew what it meant. But for us this soldierly generosity was more than we could bear. Many of the grizzled veterans wept like women and my own eyes were as blind as my voice was dumb. Years have passed and time mellows memories, and now / almost forget the keen agony of that bitter day when I recall how that line of blue broke its respectful silence to pay such tribute at Appomattox to the little line of grey that had fought them to the finish and only surrendered because it was destroyed. ”

The bear took four hams Sunday and returned Monday for more of the tasty cured pork. Jenkins shot the animal with a 30-30 rifle. Another Jenkins Hollow Rattle Snake Lester (Cliff) Sisk of Jenkins Hollow has shot three rattlesnakes this year near his home, but Monday morning while he was clipping grass around his steps, a big rattler caught him without his gun. In fact, Sisk said, the snake struck at his leg before Sisk killed him with his hand sickle. “He was right up in the grass around my steps," Sisk said. “Luckily, he hit at my pants leg at a loose spot and missed my leg altogether." Sisk said that he never heard the snake rattle but said that he's hard of hearing anyway. The rattler he killed was an old-timer, 4 feet, 3 inches long with 15 rattles and one bud. Rappahannock News readers are reminded that snakes are especially common this year because of the lack of moisture in the mountains.

Baliles Charges Opponent Flip-Flops (Continued from Page 1) (3) to recommend anti-crime courses of action to localities and to the state legislature. To date, Baliles has taken his idea personally to more than 30 Virginia localities and reports that response so far has been "very, very encouraging,” particularly from county sheriffs. Baliles, who said he grew up in a mountainous area of the state very similar to Rappahannock County, has “a deep and abiding interest in the wise use of land, water and air.” The author of legislation written after the Kepone incident and dealing with toxic substances, Baliles said he has spent much time working on environmental matters. Acknowledging that Virginia is one of the fastest growing states in the country, he noted that there are no easy answers to the development questions facing Rappahannock County and the rest of the Commonwealth. “The localities have planning and zoning tools if they want to use them,” he said, pointing out in addition that all jurisdictions are required to have a comprehensive plan. Other approaches, such as “population caps” tried by Petaluma, Calif., and Boca Raton, Fla., hive raised arguments regarding the violation of constitutional rights, Baliles said. In attempting to control growth, practical as well as legal and constitutional considerations come into play, according to the Democratic candidate. For instance, he indicated that Instituting growth controls can cause a change in population make-up. In 1960, 46 per cent of the state’s population was under 19 years of age, according to Baliles. That figure sunk to less that 29 per cent in 1980 and is still dropping. This phenomenon “raises questions regarding the future demand on government services," said Baliles. It also poses questions Handicapped Sought (Continued from Page 1) County looking for jobs. Both have suffered brain injuries. One is a former bricklayer who’s looking for outdoor work. The other is a mechanic who is still capable of doing automotive repairs by needs "by the job” rather than "by the hour” employment since he works with less speed. Vuxton and Lambelet also are soliciting clients through the Rappahannock Welfare Department and Mental Health Clinic. Handicapped persons looking for a job may contact PWI through those agencies or by calling FORE workshop in Remington at 439-8368. The two men are available to talk to local civic and church groups to explain Projects With Industry’s program. Most importantly, they will meet with businessmen interested in hiring handicapped individuals. "We’d be glad to arrange a visit to give a prospective employer more information,” Vuxton said. “And they’d be Farm Show (Continued from Page I) $10,115.60. The 4-H market lambs averaged 110 lbs. and sold for an average of $1.21 a pound for total receipts of $2,847.50. Rappahannock Farmer’s Co-op purchased the champion market lamb for $1.40 a pound. The lamb was shown by Charlotte Magee of Rappahannock and weighed 130 pounds. . In other categories: Den ice Eidson placed 4th in Novice Showmanship; Laura Adams placed 5th.

You raise a whole host of new legal questions and they’ll be put on the doorstep of the attorney general,” he predicted adding that Virginia will need someone in that office like him, someone familiar with state and federal laws. Baliles, twice selected one of the Virginia’s 10 most effective delegates, was deputy attorney general from 1972-75 and assistant attorney general from 1967-72. He’s the founder of Virginia’s Model Judiciary Program for Youth and founder and director of the Local Government Attorneys Association of Virginia. A Patrick Couty native, he served on House of Delegate Committees on Appropriations. Corporation, Insurance and Banking, Conservation and Natural Resources, and Agriculture. Baliles, his wife Jeannie and their two children live in Richmond.

VDACS Suggests Medfly Certificates S. Mason Carbaugh, Commissioner, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), has received assurances from the California Department of Food and Agriculture that all possible efforts are being made to eradicate the Mediterranean fruit fly and prevent its spread to other states. The assurances came in response to a. telegram Commissioner Carbaugh sent to Richard Rominger, director of this California agency, requesting additional information on the Medfly situation. Carbaugh was informed by California officials that by Friday night, July 24, traps designed to detect the Medfly had been placed, 10 per square mile, within a 100 mile radius of the three quarantined counties. In the remainder of the state, five traps were placed per square mile. In areas where there are no host plants, only one trap was set for each square mile. “1 have been advised that California will have plant pest personnel in the field next week to make sure that traps are in plAce and properly located within the designated areas," stated Commissioner Carbaugh. Carbaugh reported that California's plan for aerial spraying treatment for Medfly includes a minimum of six applications at 7 to 10 day intervals. The second spraying was begun last week. During his conversation with California Department of Food and Agriculture officials, Carbaugh learned that this agency was prepared to issue certificates signed by the appropriated county agriculture commissioners for all produce shipped out of state if the shippers or buyers request them. These certificates would certify that the produce came from an area that was not infested with the Medfly. This certification would be based on information received through the trapping program. “VDACS is contacting Virginia shippers to recommend that they request such certification for all shipments of produce coming from California,” Carbaugh said. “This would be an added precaution to steps already being taken by VDACS.” he added. “During our monitoring of produce coming frpm California, we have found that some shipments have accompanying certificates.’’ Carbaugh noted that no evidence of the Medfly has been found in shipments from California since the beginning of his agency’s special monitoring program on July 16. ++H—h THE difference between a successful person and a failure often lies in the fact that the successful man will profit by his mistakes and try again in a different way. —Dale Carnegie Vacwm Qmmt Repatr/Satos All work guaranteed • Expert Repair Bags/Belts/Accessories for all vacuums Naw/Rabuilt Vacuums Compact Distributor, Free Horn* Pamonatratlona by appointment Mister Sweeper 507 E.

EMSC Holds Annual Dinner Meeting July 28 There was good news and bad news at the Emergency Medical Services Council annual dinner meeting held July 28 at Graves Lodge, Syria. On the positive side was the report by council president W. J. Bond, Jr., of the advancement in local EMS service: integration between rescue squads in PD-9 and local hospital emergency rooms and more members with advanced life support skills. The bad news came in the ^orm of termination of federal funds fors improving EMS communications and equipment in rural areas, related by Susan McHenry, director of the Virginia Bureau of EMS. She warned, “Only Virginia’s . Rescue Squad Assistance Fund may be available for financial assistance and it also may disappear.” The General Assembly has restricted funds in the Highway Safety Department so this money is no longer available to help emergency units, and the Federal Health and Human Services funds will be terminated soon, according to the report. “It is important that we have the financial support of the Commonwealth and if EMS is going to survive, it will require state and local commitment.” Dr. Howard Champion, director of the Shock Trauma Center of Washington Medical Center (MedSTAR) in D. C., explained that “trauma is the third major cause of death in our country and trauma patients need a fast-moving diagnosis to save their lives.” Since the formation of MedSTAR in 1976, the death rate from trauma has been cut 50 percent. In the event of trauma from a sudden physical injury caused by external force or violence, a well equipped emergency vehicle with emergency medical technicians initiates the rescue. They contact the nearest hospital and the patient is moved by ambulance and the most critical are transported by helicopter to MedSTAR. There Dr. Champion and his team of specialists do their best. He said, “The future lies with organizations like EM SC. To save lives, we must work as a team.” At the conclusion of the meeting Paul Poling of Amissville was named president of EMSC for 198182. He is also a representative to the State EMS Advisory Council to the Governor and is treasurer of the Virginia Federation of EMS Councils. Others from Rappahannock attending were Mrs. Poling and Carl James from Amissville; Sheriff W. A. Buntin, Washington; Harry Turnmeyer and Frankie Huff, Flint Hill. ‘ ‘Harvey ’ ’ A uditions Set The Wakefield School board of trustees has announced this week its affiliation with the Rappahannock Players. Inc., who will perform Harvey, their first play of the season, on the Wakefield School stage in Huntly. “The Country Playhouse” at Wakefield will be for a time the new home of the Rappahannock Players since they have been obliged to move their center of operations from Mountain Magic Cinema in Washington. According to Robert Mahlbacher, managing director for the Rappahannock Players, a new location was desirable because the Magic Mountain Cinema had serious stage limitations. Harvey, a zany comedy about an eccentric gentleman’s liaison with a large rabbit, will be performed at Wakefield the first and second weeks of October and will be directed by Jim Reynolds. Auditions for the cast and the tech crew of the upcoming fall production of Harvey by the Rappahannock Players have been set for Sunday. August 9, at 2 p.m. and for Monday and Tuesday, August 10 and 11, at 7:30 p.m. at the Magic Mountain Theatre in Washington. Residents of nearby counties are invited to try out for the 12 roles in the comedy as well as for the innumerable tasks associated with the production. For further information call Bob Mahlbacher at 937-4501. Homemakers To Meet Flint Hill Homemakers Club will meet Tuesday, August 11, at 7:30 at the home of Mrs. Sandra Jenkins.

Center Malden, Ma. 02141, Dept. 45-AN c.UTvirn.iM-MMwa Japanese Visitor Impressed By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nnw Staff Writer Minoru Oda is from a small town but rural Japan is a far cry from rural Rappahannock where he’s spending a mong and a half with Diana and Lee Bird of Washington as an exchange visitor through the Experiment in International Living. “My first impression is that people live quite far from each other. I couldn’t believe that it would take so much time to visit neighbors,” Minoru said, flashing a wide smile. “1 was told American people live in such a way but I couldn’t imagine until I saw it for myself. People drive such long distances!” Minoru himself has logged quite a few miles since arriving in New York a week ago. After four days in that sprawling metropolis, he spent three days sightseeing in D. C. and then headed out to the country where he’s been on the move since. The Birds drove him back into the capital for dinner at one of Washington’s finest Japanese restaurants. “I didn’t expect to have such a good Japanese meal here,” he exlaimed, beaming another wide smile. He’s also visited Front Royal. Purcellville in Loudoun County and a solar house in Standardsville. One of the highlights of his stay so far was a trip to the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. Minoru was impressed with the classical beauty of Mr. Jefferson's campus. “I would love to study at that University. It didn't appear like the universities we have in Japan. I’m surprised the buildings are so very beautiful.” Minoru lives in Ushitsu, a small resort town on a penninsula facing the Japanese Sea. He and his wife are both educators. She’s an elementary teacher and Minoru is an English instructor at the community’s senior high school. In Japan, children attend elementary school for six years and junior high for three, the extent of compulsory education. Young men and women who want to go on must pass an entrance examination for admittance to a vocational training high school or a general high school which will prepare them for the much more difficult university entrance examinations. According to Minoru, about 90 percent of junior high students continue on to high school, the average nationally. “In my prefecture, it’s 93 percent,” he noted, a hint of pride in his voice. His course, the English language, is not required, Minoru said, but in practice, it’s taken by almost 99 percent of Japanese students. I haven't met any students who are learning German or French. Youngsters must pay tuition at senior high but the cost is far less for public institutions than for private school, Minoru said. The same applies to public and private universities, though he noted that in Japan, like everywhere else in the world, prices are going up. As in the U.S., Japanese schools have encountered problems with student behavior over the past few years. “But the discipline and drug problems are not as severe as in the United States. 1 think it’s because most students have to study very hard in order to enter the university or get a job.” In this country, almost anyone can get into college but once they get in, thev have to work to stay in.

It’s extremely difficult to gain admittance to a university “but after entering, they stop studying,” he said. “It’s not so hard to graduate so university students spend much time playing mahjongg or pachinko.” This trend has begun to change a little in recent years, however, because of pressure from business and industry. “They’ve stopped recruiting graduates so new students at the university are becoming more serious about learning. Now they do not play as much as we did," he added with a chuckle. In addition to the distances and wide open spaces of the U.S., Minoru has been surprised by the interiors of homes here. “There’s so For someone who’s never bothered to think metric, switching from liters to gallons isn’t easy but the liter of gas that costs 100 yen in Japan works out to more than $2 a gallon here. (I think,) Minoru became part of the Experiment in International Living’s exchange program because he wanted an opportunity to perfect his English (though, like most foreigners who’ve studied the language, his grammar is better than that used by 50 percent of the native born Americans). “Most of my knowledge of English has been through books. I wanted the practical experience of living in an American atmosphere,” he explained. Thanks to the international flavor of the furnishings in the Birds’ much antique furniture, in Japan, people live in very new houses. They don’t use antiques in their daily life. If Japanese people have antiques. they don’t use them except as ornaments to cherish.” He has a good natured laugh for the Americans who've traded in their gas guzzling behemoths for what they believe are small, fuel efficient Japanese cars. “I’ve seen many Japanese cars —Datsuns and Toyotas. They seem to be very small here but they would be big sized cars in Japan.” And gas prices that provoke outraged screams in the U.S. seem reasonable to the Birds’ visitor. "It’s cheap here in comparison with our country and prices are going up and up,” Minoru reported. Horseshoe Hollow home, that atmosphere is just the right blend of the foreign and familiar for Minoru. Browsing through Diana’s extensive library of Japanese books also can provide a home-like interlude if the unfamiliar becomes too overwhelming. For now, Minoru is looking forward to reading American books and meeting American people. “I’m very • enjoying life,” he said, making one of the few slips in his near perfect grammar. Minoru likes Americans and thinks that the majority of his country men share that view. “The average Japanese has a very good feeling about the United States. We had a poll of a few years ago and we picked the United States as the most friendly country. I don’t think this feeling will change," he concluded.

Buffy Is Frisbee Champ How can a Golden retriever turn into a gold mine? Apparently, by developing an obsession for chasing the round plastic disc of a frisbee. Brad Fisher reported that one of his lab technicians at the Greater Washington j Suburban Sanitary Commission has a dog who won $1,500 in one season competing in frisbee contests, enough to keep the canine in biscuits and flea powder for a couple of years. The Fishers are interested because their Golden retriever Buffy puts on an aerial ballet every evening in the back yard of their Washington home, an air borne exhibition that matches professional frisbee dog standards. The dog, a friendly, wellbehaved three-year-old who keeps her boundless energy under control at a single word, waits nightly at the Fishers’ back door for Brad to come home from work, a frisbee clamped tightly in her jaws. It doesn’t matter how hot it is — the temperature could be in the 90’s with the humidity level only a step behind. Buffy will still chase a frisbee as long as she can find somebody to toss it, leaping two feet into the air and twisting her body into a pretzelin order to come down with the prize in her mouth. "I’m not sure how long Rappahannock News Photos/Daphne Hutchinson READY TO GO—Buffy, a dog belonging to the Fisher family in Washington, waits patiently for Brad to arrive home from work to begin the Evening’s frisbee romp. ' “I’s not sure how long she’d keep it up,” Brad noted. “We always get tired first!” Born and bred for the task of bringing objects back to her masters, Buffy loves to retrieve anything. “She’ll dive to pick up a rock from the bottom of a pond. She’ll try to fetch ducks from a lake, seagulls from the ocean,” reported Mrs. Fisher. Persistence started Buffy on her career in the sport. She kept interfering with the Fisher family’s frisbee playing until they had no choice but to give up the game or include the Golden retriever. Buffy has her own frisbee, a white model that was bought especially for her. Since dogs can’t differentiate between colors, red and blue ffisbees are lost to Buffy’s vision against a backgound of trees, bushes or grass, Brad noted. She’s more careful with her toy than most youngsters are with their first baseball glove. Buffy always knows where she left her frisbee and can run straight to it at the first sign that someone may want to play. “She gets upset when one of the kids has borrowed hers and left it somewhere else,” Dawn said. Buffy’s owners have no plans right now for the family pet to follow the frisbee circuit. But if she ever decides to give up her amateur status, she has a great shot at getting her picture on the cover of Dog World as the new queen of the sport. BUFFY DISPLAYS fancy footwork as she catches the frisbee. RETURN TO SENDER—Buffy not only catches frisbees on the fly, she delivers them back into the hands of her master.

Open For “Hoover Days” Camp Hoover, the former Presidential retreat in Shenandoah National Park, will be open to the public August 8 and 9. The Camp buildings, which are normally reserved for VIP accommodations, will be open both days. Free bus transportation, building tours, and guided hikes will be offered. Park Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen announced that this will be the eighth annual celebration of ‘‘Hoover Days.” The event has been scheduled each year on the weekend closest to the former President’s birthday. ‘‘We hope that visitors will take this opportunity to see one of the most interesting and beautiful sites in the Park,” said Jacobsen. Buses will be available to transport visitors to the Camp from Byrd Visitor Center at Big Meadows, Milepost 51 on Skyline Drive. Trips will begin approximately every half hour from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, and from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. Park personnel will be present at the Camp to assist visitors and answer questions as they tour the buildings and grounds. Special guided hikes to Camp Hoover will leave from the visitor center at 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Saturday and at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. Participants must be prepared to walk over 3 miles to the Camp and are advised to wear comfortable walking shoes. Hikers can continue the guided hike back to the visitor center or return on one of the buses. Individual hikers can reach the Camp on their own using any of several trails. President Hoover purchased the land for the Camp in 1929 and used the area, then called “Camp Rapidan,” as a weekend retreat or “Summer White House” during his term of office.

New Law Classifies Bicycles As Vehicles A law classifying the bicycle as a vehicle is among several transportation safety related acts became effective in Virginia, July 1. “Last year over 1,300 bicycle-motor vehicle collisions occurred on state roadways, claiming 23 lives and injuring 1,200,” said Virginia Department of Transportation Safety (VDTS) Director John T. Hanna. “Bikers encounter potentially dangerous situations daily because motorists sometimes fail to recognize them as motor vehicle traffic. Both need to be aware of current bike safety legislation,” the safety official added. Under the law: —With vehicle status bikers will share the same rights and responsibilities as all motorists. They must obey all traffic signs and lights and signal left or right turns. —Bikers can ride on public sidewalks unless prohibited by a local or dinance. They must yield to pedestrians and give an audible signal before passing them. —Bikers must ride with traffic near the right hand curb or roadway edge except when: overtaking and passing another vehicle going in the same direction; preparing for a lift turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway; and avoiding fixed or moving objects, parked or moving vehicles, pedestrians, animals, surface hazards, or narrow width lanes making it unsafe to continue along the right hand curb or edge. Other transportation safety related legislation includes: —Moped reclassification to bicycle-like vehicle using a helper moter with an increase from one to two brake horsepower and from 20 to 30 mph. Moped operators must be at least 16 years old. —A Senate Joint Resolution requested VDTS to prepare and distribute material relating to child restraint systems.

Washington, Virginia 22747 (703) 675 3424. A Copy i esie. Diane Bruce, Clerk 202jyl6-a Bikes Still Barred From Interstates The State Highway and Transportation Commission reminds bicyclists and moped riders that they are not allowed on interstate roads or other controlled access highways. Some recent news reports have implied that law changes which became effective July 1 provided a means whereby bicycle riders could get a permit to use controlled access highways. That’s not the case. "While there have been a number of changes in laws regarding bicycles and mopeds, commission policy still prohibits these types of vehicles from being used on interstate or other controlled access highways,” said R. C. Lockwood, the department’s bicycle coordinator. In the interest of safety, commission policy puts such roads off limits for pedestrians, persons riding bicycles or mopeds, horsedrawn vehicles, or animals being led. ridden, or driven. Controlled access highways in Virginia include the entire interstate system and certain sections of the state’s arterial network. These roads are designated clearly by signs and are indicated by special markings on the Virginia highway map, Lockwood said. Estabrook Hears Space Concerns - (Continued from Page 1) practice. "And this youngster still had the courage to be allleague linebacker and allleague in baseball plus had very good seasons in basketball and gymnastics." He didn’t come from a storybook family. The boy’s father left when the twins were three. Their older brother was a trouble maker who went in and out of jail, their older sister a patient in a mental institution, their younger sister an epileptic. Their mother held down three jobs, leaving the twins to cook, clean and handle most of the household chores, according to Estabrook. There was no miraculous storybook ending either. “He died on Christmas Eve the next year." the superintendent said. “Up until that time. 1 thought I had admired youth. I’d taught for three years. Most teachers are in their jobs because they admire and respect youth. But never before and never since has it been made so clear to me what young people are capable of," said Estabrook. emphasizing that the boy in his story had no reason to keep pushing himself to excellence and yet he continued. “We need to set high standards. Young people can handle it." the superintendent concluded. Positive Attitude High standards must be coupled with a positive attitude, according to Estabrook. “Without a positive philosophy, it’s easy to become bogged down in what’s wrong...I'm not saying we should ignore our problems but we need to maintain a positive balance while we try to forge ahead." he maintained. “We can best serve our young people by trying to keep our chins up." Estabrook also emphasized the “team approach," noting how appreciative he is to have help from his assistant superintendent Jerry Lysik. With the complexity of today's problems, this team concept has become more and more important in public education, he said. “That means input from the parents, the teachers, the building administrators and the central office staff,” Estabrook said. What it doesn't mean is pushing responsibility off onto other shoulders, he continued. “I accepted the superintendency and in doing so, 1 accepted a position of leadership, not followership...But 1 need the support of the team if we're going to succeed.” In response to Estabrook's call for high standards, Sean Kilpatrick noted that the school board has failed to show a similar commitment to quality by its repeated refusal to deal with the high school's space shortage. ‘‘I definitely think the Rappahannock school system can provide more of the space so desperately needed so that our teachers have at least a fighting chance at teaching...We’ve got a bunch of good teachers doing a tremendous job in spite of the hurdles and roadblocks in front of them, lo these so many years. We just can't convince the school board to bulldoze those hurdles out of the way.” Started Over Capacity Built for a maximum capacity of 285, the high school opened its doors in September. 1960, to 300 white students, Kilpatrick noted. At that time, one to two busloads of black students were being bussed to a regional segregated high school in Culpeper, now the Piedmont Technical Education Center. “With about 360 high school aged kids in the county, the school board built a school with a capacity of 285!” Kilpatrick emphasized. A few years later, the high school was expanded with the addition of a shop and several other classrooms. The core facilities—offices, library, restrooms, kitchen, cafeteria—were not enlarged, however. “There was an average of 425 students in that school last year and there are still only two bathrooms (one for girls and one for boys),” Kilpatrick noted. “The cafeteria will seat between 80 and 90 sardines at one sitting...There’s no place for a sick student to lie down until his parents get here to pick him up except in the middle of the classroom,” he said, pointing to the bed pushed up against the wall in the center of the home ec class. The high school's shortcomings have been brought to the attention of the school board many times with no results, Kilpatrick said. And although the elementary school is in much better shape, it also suffers inordinately because of space demands created by new mandated special education class courses, provision of kindergarten and storage of audio-visual equipment used 10 times as much now as when the school was built, he added. Enrollment Growth Kilpatrick pointed out that every census taken between 1880 and 1970 showed the county losing population. But according to the 1980 census, Rappahannock finally reversed the 90 year trend and increased its population by 20 percent. That 20 percent growth will be reflected in a larger schoolaged population as well, Kilpatrick predicted. Another parent noted that lack of space at the high school has restricted course offerings to the point that incoming eighth graders need a recommendation from their seventh grade teacher in order to get into the single eighth grade history class offered. Due to lack of space, 45 students who wanted to take the course will not get a third year of mathematics while first, second and third year art students are all squeezed into a single art class. In order to take Piedmont’s half-day vocational program, RCHS juniors and seniors are required to leave half-way through third period, usually from courses required for graduation, according to Kilpatrick. ’’They’re not getting the K<«l>pahann<M'k \rw« |'lxi|n I)aphn«* Hutchinson RECEN r RAIN that has soaked the county brought a smile to this |»orker’s face as showers left his Jenkins Hollow home spotted with puddles.

There’s no way they can get it." “We've been talking about doing something for four years,” said Pat Helmer, adding that she hasn’t heard conclusive figures on projected enrollment twice in a row. “The kids are being pulled. They have a very low opinion of the school. They have a low opinion of themselves. They see the high school as a 'nowhere’ place,” Helmer said. With the high turnover in faculty, new teachers quickly pick up this negative impression and inadvertently project it to the students, she added. “A Good Place” In deciding how to describe RCHS to a foreign exchange student who will visit her family this year, Helmer said she realized she was as guilty as everybody else in the county of 'talking down’ the school. “It isn’t a dump — it’s a good place,” she maintained, adding that there are ways of getting around some of the problems, citing the possibility of preparing lunches for both schools in the elementary school’s kitchen. “The elementary school is in good shape...It has an active PTA, a book fair twice a year that raises money for the library...It’s time (for high school parents) to stop sitting around and kicking the school and the school board and do something constructive to improve RCHS,” Helmer maintained. "One of the crying needs we have is to establish effective means of communication," responded Estabrook, noting that there will always be concerns over curriculum and facilities at either or both of the county's two public schools. He acknowledged that he didn’t have all the answers but suggested some type of regular arrangement that will provide two-way communication between parents and teachers and the central office. As a first step, to solving problems, priorities must be determined, according to the superintendent. "If we can’t do everything, what's most important?” Mary Beth Martin repeated a request she’s made several times in the past for an art program in the elementary school. She also mentioned another point she’s made previously — health problems arising from lack of soap in the elementary school bathrooms. "They have containers for soap but they aren’t filled. The darn children keep using it!" she added facetiously. Helmer described the bathroom situation at the elementary school as ‘‘ridiculous," noting that seventh graders are allowed to go to the restrooms only once a day except in emergencies.

When you walk in the room, it’s so smoke filled you can’t see the stalls!” Time-Task Problem “I want to hear your concerns but I need to make you aware of what we’re facing," Estabrook replied, citing the “time-task” problem that exists in education today. “Go back 15 years and think what the schools have had to take on since then — sex education, drug education, death and dying, environmental education, economic ed uc at ion... The time available has not been extended. The length of the school year and the length of the school day are about the same but more and more tasks have been added.” Addressing Martin’s concern that art be added to the elementary curriculum, Estabrook noted that other individuals insist schools should get “back to the basics...and art ain’t basics!” With all that is demanded of public education, “something has to slip,” he maintained. He agreed with Laurie Marshall, teacher of last year's gifted and talented program, that teachers can be creative in combining different topics, for instance, a study of death and dying incorported as part of a reading lesson. “But we still have to make choices,” he said, not an easy decision because values are being dealt with. “We must reach some sort of understanding or we will continue to be disappointed...If you want art, you must also tell us another area where you see the emphasis can be reduced,” Estabrook said. Marshall contended that school problems can be divided between those with short term and long term solutions. Lack of space for the school year that begins in September demands a short term solution, she said, suggesting that a special committee be formed to develop and bring before the school board alternatives for meeting immediate space needs. She also suggested that the tremendous amount of talent and skills in the county be organized and used as a nocost resource for Rappahannock's educational programs. It was pointed out that Rappahannock had the lowest true tax rate in the state last year while it ranked fifth in ability to pay for education. This gap between ability and effort as perceived by the state reduces the amount of state funding for education received by the county. Politics In Education “We’re novices at trying to compete for our share of the public dcllar,” Estabrook replied. “We’re going to have to learn to function in that arena,’* maintaining that politics no longer can be separated from education. In Wythe County, where he served before coming to Rappahannock, the supervisors believed they could stay in office by keeping taxes low, Estabrook said. That works until constituents tell the board of supervisors that they’re willing for taxes to be raised in order to improve the educational system, he added. This can't be done without help from the taxpayers and voters, Estabrook emphasized. After hearing parents complain that their efforts and the efforts of students have failed to bring any progress on capital outlay at the high school, Estabrook repeated his request for a positive attitude. “We must have faith in one another if we’re going to get these concerns dealt with." He cited the importance of finding a better way for parents to communicate with the school board and viceversa, adding that bringing about change is a very complex matter. First emphasizing that he didn’t mean a wait of years, he asked parents to “try to be patient and join us in trying to deal with these problems.” C OUHT&r nOKZA ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes •Cabins •Additions •Remodeling Box 147 Flint Hill, Va. 703*675*3897 Va.
